17Marco Nie, Ph.D.
Civil & Environmental Engineering
y-nie@northwestern.edu
847-467-0502
Dr. Nie’s primary interest is to better understand and predict the behavior of transportation networks,
and to formulate new design and control strategies to improve mobility, reliability and sustainability of
these systems. Unlike other networks such as communication and social networks, the behavior of a
transportation network depends on the interactions between human activities (travel choice and driving behavior), physical
characteristics of the infrastructure and network topology. As a result, Dr. Nie’s analyses of transportation systems take an
interdisciplinary approach that draws on tools from optimization, network science, traffic flow theory, economics, and statistics.
His research covers various aspects of transportation systems analysis, ranging from developing specialized routing algorithms to
designing Pareto-improving congestion pricing schemes. Despite their diversity, most problems that I have been working on
address research questions that not only are of theoretical interest but also promise relevant real-world impacts.
